Why?

That's all DS says lately. Not just out of curiosity, but out of defiance, questioning everything I tell him to do. He's driving me nuts.

That's just normal, I remember that with DS1...dreading it with DS2 because he's a little more stubborn... great!

Oh joy of joys. I think K is entering this phase too. Ugh. Hang in there, mama. Hopefully you can survive it without resorting to "Because I said so" because that is when we truly become our mothers

We have been doing that for some months now.  How tired are you of having to answer that question every 5 minutes.

Justin never pulled that one on me, but all he is saying now is No.  Just because he can.  And it drives me bonkers.

Could you pull the famous line "why not?" and see how he reacts... 

In all seriousness, I don't have any suggestions... other than I've heard it's a phase that will also pass eventually

O says no a whole bunch too. My absolute favorite though, has to be "I don't know. I don't care. I'll pull down your underwear." Said in a sing-song voice with his hands on his hips and his head shaking back and forth. He says it at least 5 times a day and I know big sister is to thank for that. Oy.

Shut the door!  Oh noes... Wishing you luck!  Beyond my brain right now.  What do you do with that cuteness?  Go hug you some A.  She is teaching her bro some stuff.  Hehe!
